Re: BBC overheating

I run a dual 12" HO shrouded fan set up from Derale. I used to run dual 12" fans from Perma-Cool, but they couldn't keep up when I went with AC this time around. I set the Derale fans so that the blades are just to the inside of the shroud surface. I can run one fan on the freeway and it keeps my temps to 180-190. In town driving, both fans will keep things around 170-180 even with the AC running.
